Cauliflower Soup

This is a nice warm soup for a cold winter day. I never made cauliflower soup and wondered what it would be like. I was surprised how flavorful it was and will add it to my soup list. Can’t wait to make it again. Enjoy!

Ingredients

1 stick butter, divided

1 medium onion, diced

1 whole carrot, diced

1 stalk celery, diced

1-2 whole cauliflower Heads, roughly chopped

2 tablespoons parsley, chopped

2 quarts chicken broth

6 Tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 cups whole milk

1 cup half and half

1 cup sour cream

salt and pepper

Directions

Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large soup pot. Add the onion and cook for a few minutes until they start to brown. Add in the carrots, celery, salt and pepper, sauté for about 2 minutes.

Add the cauliflower and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add in the chicken stock, cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes.

In a small pot, add in the rest of the butter and melt. In a separate bowl whisk the flour and milk to combine.

Then whisk the flour mixture into the melted butter and warm. Add in the half and half.

Add the flour/milk mixture into the soup. Whisk to combine, bring the soup back to a boil. Then lower cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
